4th of July recipes! (aka sugar overload)

So it was a super busy weekend and I can say that I did not read any blogs at all on Sunday and just skimmed a few on Saturday. I'll get back to business today as "someone" is going on a hunting trip ("Why?" is beyond me. It's cold out there.) However, while I catch up with blog life and write up some stuff for tomorrow, here are my recommendations for this week's holiday...

P.S. I forgot to source my Pins yesterday. All pictures I put on this blog, if I didn't take them and if not otherwise mentioned, come from my Pinterest page.

Looking for something yummy to make for the 4th of July?

When we go out (yes, it does happen), I automatically volunteer dessert.

Or if you have any of that rhubarb stuff lying around, Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler might be yummy (if you're not me). I'd post the picture, but it's horrible. I'll make it again when my parents visit and remedy that situation.

Some Sugar Cookie Fudge, mayhaps?? (Store it in the freezer. It was my after-school snack for an entire week. *Nom, nom, nom*)

These Blueberry Cookies are ah-maz-ing. The pictures I took of them are horrible. But, I've been making these since I swiped the recipe from Giada in 2005. Try them!

This Patriotic Sugar Cookie Pie is what I would make for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Veterans' Day, and anything else slightly patriotic. Just so I have an excuse to eat it.

I almost forgot about these! I spent a lot of time last summer coming up with these perfectly tart Lemon-Lime Coconut Bars.
